A Modular Antenna Pointing System (MAPS) is described which was designed for on-orbit servicing and on-orbit exchange. The MAPS provides a data link between the Explorer Platform (EP) satellite and the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS). The MAPS consists of a two axis gimbal set used fo position a High Gain Antenna (HGA) toward TDRS, system control electronics, and an extendable mast. The system was qualified and integrated with the EP satellite for an April 1992 launch.
